To EDM: Zaitsev ($4.5 mill) and Brown ($2.1 mill)

TO TOR: Puljujarvi (RFA), Benning ($1.9 mill) and Manning ($2.25 mill)

Oilers get a second pair RD and someone who can play up and down in the lineup.

Leafs get a young RW that needs new scenery, and a third pairing RD. Leafs put Manning on waivers or bury his contract in the AHL

It's a fair deal.


2.) 25 Jun 2019 18:13:55
Fair deal, but do we really need both Benning and Manning? Manning especially probably isn’t worth trading for. Even lowly Edmonton buried him in the AHL. He’s not good enough to play on the Leafs. If we trade brown it will be to save cap space. No need to take on an AHL level player earning even more than Brown.

I am just going to throw this up there for the off-season. The last two weeks have exposed the Leafs Defensive deficiencies and lack of grit up front. Here is what I would like to see done. All this has been said before and I think this will keep the Leafs Cap Compliant.

Kapanen for Pesce
Zaitsev for a 4th (any team)
Brown + that 4th for Gudas (Final year of deal)

Sign Troy Brouwer for League minimum. Big and can play the PK

Johnsson Matthews Nylander
Hyman Tavares Marner
Marleau Kadri Bracco
Moore Gauthier Brouwer
Petan

Rielly Pesce
Muzzin Dermott
Rosen Gudas
Holl

Rosen and Bracco are NHL ready but need veteran support. Kadri/Marleau could use a pure passer.

To me this has all the markings of a championship team

I like it I think you will have to give our 4th in the gudas deal and send zaitsev and a b or c prospect for a 7th.


2.) 22 Mar 2019 15:48:16
I think your assessment of the team is bang on. We’ve really seen those weaknesses get exposed more and more as teams are tightening up play heading down the stretch into the playoffs. I like the trade ideas for the most part, I think you are on the right path here.

Kapanen for Pesce is an absolute yes, as is dumping Zaitsev for whatever we can get. Both those I fully agreee with I’m on your side. Same with Gudas deal too. If Philly would pull the trigger on that one.

Brouwer is a no go in my opinion. He takes up a valuable roster spot that other guys that deserve more. He just isn’t good enough.

I think you targeted all the right teams, and all the right players. I love the lineups you posted. This team has all the makings of a championship team is correct. I love it. Even if Leafs could get Pesce alone is worth it. The rest of the guys are just cherry.


3.) 22 Mar 2019 18:08:07
I worried about adding Brouwer too but I was trying to find a big veteran RW that could play the PK and hit. He maybe a bit too slow now. Petan is a perfect 13th forward as he could replace Moore, Gauthier, Bracco and Brouwer on any given night.

There have been a lot of similar trades to this one but here we go...

TO CAR: Kapanen
To TOR: Pesce

To BUF: Zaitsev
To TOR: 3rd rounder

To STL: 4th Rounder (STL's that the TOR owns)
To TOR: Maroon

Seen a lot of Pesce + Ferland deals to the Leafs for Kapanen + Zaitsev but I do not think the Leafs have the additional pieces that Carolina would want to pull it off. Kapanen has been rumoured to CAR for a long time and could be the final push for a playoff spot.

Buffalo in need of right side defensive upgrades and have the cap space. I am sure the Leafs would hate to trade in the division but if Pesce is going to come in they have to dump that contract

Maroon is not playing well this year but perhaps a team change will spark a resurgence. May not be as good as Ferland but comes at a much cheaper price

DL7

1.) 10 Feb 2019 21:45:56
Probably would work but I still think dubas pushes Carolina to take Johnsson rather then kapanen and it might work if Johnsson keeps playing the way he has been.


2.) 10 Feb 2019 22:00:48
Kapanen is not going anywhere.


3.) 11 Feb 2019 00:31:23
I don’t know how urgent Buffalo feels the need to strengthen their RHD. They already have Bogosian and Ristolainen. And while neither of those guys is known for a strong defensive game, neither is Zaitsev. I know Bogosian is hurt right now, but I don’t know the extent of the injury. So Buffalo might take on Zaitsev to give depth for playoff run, and deal with the roster consequences in the off season.


4.) 11 Feb 2019 16:43:48
Make it a third for maroon and he is yours.


5.) 11 Feb 2019 17:17:37
Why not Gardiner for Pesce, I think its close. Then ferland for brown and pick?


6.) 11 Feb 2019 18:35:46
I don’t think Kappy is going anywhere, Dubas has said that we wants to keep both him and Johnsson for the playoffs and they both continue to fall on the trade bait board.

I’m perfectly fine with the other two trades.


7.) 11 Feb 2019 23:46:25
Guys Gardiner doesn't hold a lot of value he is ufa.


 

 

31 Jan 2019 19:07:40
I know that the Leafs do not want to give up a roster player, and I do not want to trade Kapanen but I am just spit balling what it would take

To CAR: Kapanen and Zaitsev and a 2020 3rd

to TOR: Pesce, Ferland and J. Gauthier

DL7

1.) 01 Feb 2019 16:48:21
Leafs need toughness and an upgrade RHD. I agree trading with Carolina to fill the void of both makes sense.
Something like this may work better.
Car: Pesce and Ferland
Tor: brown, Johnsson and Zaitsev ( add a pick if needed)


 

 

30 Nov 2018 15:53:40
30 hrs left in this soap opera...

To TOR: Sandheim, Simmonds, Farabee

To PHI: Nylander, Holl, Rosen and a conditional 3rd (Becomes a 2nd if Simmonds re-signs)

DL7

1.) 30 Nov 2018 17:33:29
Sanheim we don’t really need. Now I feel it was one of Philly’s RHD prospect/ players (Hagg), we may be talking. Farabee is interesting choice. Very young still, he’s just started playing university hockey. He’s going to be a few years away from making NHL. I honestly don’t know if his stats are good or not for that league, as I don’t really follow university hockey. Simmonds we can use this year. I don’t think Leafs would be interested in re-signing him.

I’m not blown away with this package. At one point Sanheim was projected as a top 4 pairing, I don’t know if that still holds true. Farabee carries risk because he is unproven and guaranteed won’t be on the team for at least three years, and Simmonds is pending UFA. A deal like this is high risk/ low reward. In the end, we could lose Nylander and all we end up with is a bottom pairing LHD.


2.) 30 Nov 2018 21:00:57
Finally, something that is better for the other team. very refreshing seeing someone over evaluate the other team.

Nylander gets the leafs a better package (I hope)

But again, I'm not ever right when it comes to evaluating trades so this could become what's Toronto gets. blah.

Any thoughts on what it would take to get Colin Miller off of the Knights? Of the mock expansion drafts I have looked over, he would be my target. Dumba is going to have a bidding war over him, who know what side deal the Ducks has struck but I am not a Vatanen fan anyways, and it doesn't look like Demers will be selected with the amount of talent Florida exposed on the wing.

I think Colin Miller is the guy I would take the gamble on. What would he cost?

DL7

1.) 19 Jun 2017 10:12:32
There is nothing stopping Vegas to make deals with teams right now, for after the selections.

Say the Leafs want Demers. They make a deal with Vegas right now to trade; say the remaining player of Lepsic or Rychel, Bracco, and a 2nd for Demers. On Wed after submissions they announce the deal and push it through.

Chosen players are immediately available when the draft is closed, to be traded to any team except the team they were picked from. There is nothing preventing these teams from negotiating for this the past two weeks or even from now to Wed as long as it's with Vegas.

Before the craziness of this week begins, I just want to list my ideal three weeks for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Trade #1

To TOR: Josh Manson, Clayton Stoner ($3.25 mill cap dump), and Max Jones

To ANA: JVR (50% retained), Andreas Johnsson, Tobias Lindberg

Trade #2

To TOR: Niemi ($4.5 mill), #39th overall

To DAL: Rinat Valiev

Trade # 3 - Draft day scenario IF Liljegren falls to #11

To TOR: #11 overall (Liljegren)

To LA: #17 and Jeremy Bracco (I would only trade Bracco to a Western Conference team)

Leafs draft Liljegren at 11, Oettinger at 39 (or best available G), and Mattheos at 50

Leafs sign Boyle @ 3 years x 2.2 mill
Leafs sign Darren Raddysh at ELC

Once again, this is just my hopes so I imagine I will take a lot of slack for it, though I do not think I have said anything too outlandish

DL7

1.) 13 Jun 2017 00:48:40
That would be awesome if that would happen. I think the biggest one the leafs should try to do is draft Liljegren.


2.) 13 Jun 2017 23:53:30
I'd go for all 3.


 

 

20 Jun 2016 22:28:25
Anderson to the Leafs for the 30th pick and a 2017 2nd rounder.

DL7

1.) 20 Jun 2016 23:16:47
Gee, I wonder what this trade leads to?

Why do we all of a sudden need a first rate goalie, when we have been suffering it out for two years? This could have waited a little before putting the trade through. Hmmmmm!


2.) 20 Jun 2016 23:36:15
Now, what do we do with Captain Dunsail? Offer him for a 7th rounder?


 

 

12 May 2016 22:48:50
Alright Leaf fans, not to totally quash the trading up to the top 10 rumours but the Leafs probably do not have the assets to do it. Pittsburg is continuing to win, greatly diminishing the value of their 1st round pick. Leafs are now looking at a bottom four pick and in this draft players from the 25-40 range are all very equal in talent.

Using a chart that was recommended by Elliot Friedman, which looks at the relative value of each pick in the draft I have come up with what it will take for the Leafs to trade up.

The three most likely candidates to trade are MIN, NYI, and FLA as they are all missing their second and third round picks this more (and even more in some cases)

To get the 15th overall from the Wild, it will cost: PIT 1st, SJ 2017 2nd, Leafs 3rd and NJ 3rd or PIT 1st and Leafs 2nd

To get the 19th overall from the Islanders, it will cost: PIT 1st, SJ 2017 2nd and NJ 3rd or PIT 1st, WAS 2nd and Leafs 3rd

To get the 23rd overall pick from FLA, it will cost: PIT 1st and WAS 2nd

There we have it folks, those are the traded pick value according to that chart. See which one you like best

(To get the values right I made some assumptions like the Pens losing in the Stanley Cup which mean their pick is the 29th and that SJ's 2017 2nd round pick would be around 45, meaning that they squeak in to the playoffs and lose first round)

A lot of pick trading is dependent on circumstance, so I think it's possible you'd be able to get a pick a little cheaper than some of those values. You're right in the fact that most leaf fans think it will be much easier to get a top 10 pick than it is in reality.


2.) 13 May 2016 04:53:42
Well thought out, thanks. The one wild card is that what if we trade more than picks. What value does valiev or Percy or Kapanen add. I think the positive thing is we DO have lots of picks which are great currency to bring into a trade to get the asset we target. Man would it ever be awesome to nail down another top 10 pick!

Carlson unspectacular? 3rd in Points for Defensemen, while playing the PK and starting in the defensive zones 52% of the time. Yeah, sounds like someone the Leafs don’t need. I would offer him $6.5 and see. Statsny I would stay far far away from.

Carlson should be the Leafs entire focus in the off season. He would solidify the entire defence and make it Championship worthy

Rielly Carlson
Gardiner Zaitsev
Dermott Hainsey

Dermott gains more experience and knowledge with Hainsey as his mentor. Let Gardiner walk after that season and Dermott slides into the second pairing with a new bottom pairing of

Borgman Liljegren.

Would rather keep the prospects and try to sign Carlson in the offseason.

I would absolutely be trying to pry Tanev or Gudbranson out of Vancouver. I think you would have to add a 2nd to this trade though. Guddy is a UFA after this year so he could be extended but he provides a skill set that the Leafs are missing.
